Thesis Seminar CADS (February Intake)

Course
2020-2021

Students will participate in a seminar group that mostly consists of the students who finished Research Design (February intake) in Spring 2020.

Admission Requirements

Admission only for students who have finished the fieldwork research for their master’s thesis.

Description

This 5 ECTS course aims to establish the analytical connection between the fieldwork experiences and the data collected during fieldwork on the one hand, and on the other hand the theories and epistemologies discussed in the first part of the master's programme. The focus will be on the level of analysis, the units of analysis, and the process of constructing a written academic argument and, in the case of Visual Ethnography, an audiovisual component.
